400+ rescued from labor trafficking

Over 400 men, women and children have been rescued from international labor trafficking since June. Among those rescued were 76 children, some as young as 14 years old.

All had been lured out of Thailand by false job offers and ended up being forced to work in scamming call centers. Their working conditions were brutal – survivors reported being held against their will and electrocuted or subjected to solitary confinement as discipline.

Our rescue team in Thailand has been working tirelessly on these cases since June, in collaboration with other non-profit organizations and government agencies. Their work to rescue these 400+ lives included investigation, rescue operations, travel coordination to repatriate survivors and interviewing assistance.

15 Girls Choose Freedom from Sex Trafficking

Fifteen children have been rescued from sex trafficking in Southeast Asia.

The girls, who were all under 16 years old, had been lured from their homes with the promise of good jobs in the city. Instead, business owners forced them into exploitative work in bars and massage parlors where they were expected to endure sexual assault by the customers.

Over the course of three months, our undercover agents found each child and built trust before offering freedom. All 15 children have been successfully reunited with their families.

98 rescued from brutal labor trafficking operation

The survivors, including eight children, had been trapped in a call scam center in Asia.

An international crime organization lured their victims with the false promise of a good job before locking them in a guarded compound and forcing them to work inhumane hours in a scam center.

The victims were confined, threatened and physically assaulted as they scammed victims for all they’re worth over time—a practice generally known as “pig butchering.” Some of the women were sexually abused.

Now, that nightmare is over. After helping free them, we aided local authorities in the repatriation process, ensuring the survivors returned home safely.
